Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in the sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life.
Four caskets. Two bodies.
Jessica and Jude Day witness their funeral and that of their parents a few yards away from mourning family and friends. Stripped of the only life they’ve ever known, the Days say goodbye to San Francisco forever.
Four months later, two thirty-year-old misfits with elite self-defense skills and penchants for alcohol, sex, and trouble arrive like an earthquake to Peaceful Woods, a retirement community in Omaha, Nebraska, that thrives on rules and gossip. Welcome home, Jackson and Jillian Knight.
Jackson celebrates his new beginning by embracing his job and wiping his cavalier past clean with a temporary oath of celibacy. But Jillian’s past is branded into her soul—the deaths, the insanity, Dr. Luke Jones, and the need to make her lovers bleed. Her chance for redemption comes in the form of a next door neighbor, one Senior Master Sergeant Monaghan. He’s sexy, dangerously alluring, and riddled with emotional issues from years of service. He’s also … So. Damn. Grumpy.
Their mission is simple: Let go, start over, don't kill anyone, and pray that nobody wakes the dead.
Excerpt
“Have you ever killed anyone?”
Jessica’s smile slipped. “If I told you then I’d have to kill you.”
“So you’re a secret agent?”
She flipped onto her stomach, resting her chin on her crossed arms. “If I said yes then it would no longer be a secret. Come on, Jones, you’re losing your focus. Don’t let me feel smarter than you or our time together will be over and I rather like hanging out here.”
“Luke,” he corrected.
“Lucas.”
“Luke.”
“Lukey.”
“LUKE!”
“Lulu.”
“I mean it!” Luke showed another rare moment of teetering emotion.
Jessica chuckled. “What are the chances of us having sex? I’ve never done it missionary, but you could possibly counsel me through it.”
He refocused on his crossword puzzle, filling in a word in pen. “Less than zero percent.”
“So, not in my favor, eh?
“Why not missionary?”
Jessica smiled in delight that Luke continued with the topic of conversation. “I’m sure you already know, but if you want me to say I need control, then sure, I need control. But the truth is I’d control any sex position you want to put me in.” Jessica winked as Luke gave her a fleeting glance. “I just don’t want you thinking you have control, even if I know it’s not the case. Pisses me off to see the smirk on a guy’s face when he thinks he has control.”
“Tell me why you need control.” Luke continued with his crossword.
“In bed?”
“Yes.”
“Someone has to have it.”
“Why?”
“Because someone initiates it.”
“So if I initiate sex with you will I have control?”
“There’s only one way to find out.” Jessica wiggled her eyebrows at an ill-humored Luke.

Sonja's Review
Okay, now that I've had my much needed chocolate after the ending Ms. Jewel E. Ann left us with, I feel much better and able to write about End of Day. As soon as I saw that End of Day was written by Jewel E. Ann, I immediately wanted to read it because I absolutely loved her Only Trick - it's one of the best books I've read this year - so I knew this one would be good and I was so excited that I really only skimmed the synopsis. And that turned out to be a mistake, but only because it left me confused at the beginning, but as soon as I read the whole synopsis carefully, it made sense. Despite that little road bump, this book was spectacular and I wholeheartedly loved, loved, LOVED it!!
I positively loved Jillian, she's so sassy, snarky, and sarcastic! She's a mischievous troublemaker, strong, but vulnerable, and she makes me laugh as much as she breaks my heart. Jillian doesn't much care about doing what's proper, she does what she wants, and that includes driving Sergeant AJ Monaghan crazy with all of her antics. I loved all of that about her, but I especially loved seeing her gentle, caring, soft side. Jillian's kind of crazy, but I loved that about her - she's an amazing heroine!
Senior Master Sergeant AJ Monaghan is one hooooot man! Sure, he's a little older and he's all grumpy and surly, but that just made me love him more! He does grumpy and stuffy so well and all of that just makes it so much hotter and better when he loses the fight against Jillian. AJ is rough and commanding, he's a jerk and a pain in the butt sometimes, but he has his gentle, sweet moments too. What can I say? I love that old, grumpy hero and I couldn't have stopped it from happening if I tried!
End of Day is so full of life, passion, mystery, and heartache. There are bittersweet moments, deep ones, times where I laughed my butt off, and moments that stopped my heart and took my breath. It pulled me in completely, made me cry, smile, and sigh, and it broke my heart and touched it. It was another phenomenal book from Jewel E. Ann and I CAN'T wait to read Middle of Knight!
End of Day is told from multiple points of view, there's no HEA yet, and it is a HUGE-YOU-WILL-NEED-CHOCOLATE-AFTER-THIS cliffhanger!!!!
